Tutorial to install CrashPlan (updated August 2016)
Hello everyone, As I have reinstall CrashPlan on my ReadyNas today. I thought I will share with everyone my updated notes. Feel free to comment to improve this step-by-step. Maybe a clever person...

Amazon Cloud Drive is currently available as of 6.6.0 at least. Not sure when it was introduced but it is fairly new.
It's not a backup, since it is a 2-way sync. There are ideas in the exchange on setting it to 1-way for backup, and also to encrypt the files on the drive for added security.
So I'm not sure this is ready quite yet (and it wouldn't have the versioning or deduplication that crashplan has).
I'm thinking I'll keep CrashPlan, but at some point will host it on a PC and map the NAS data volume to a drive letter.
I guess no one has 4.8 running yet?
It's a shame, Crashplan ran for 4 years unattended on my Ultra 2, before things started breaking around 18mths ago - now it just needs constant attention. With that and Plex no longer supported on my Ultra 2, I think I'm going with StephenB's idea and move my apps to another computer. I'd looked at other NAS brands, but while they might have easier installation they seem to have the same problems with Crashplan.
I think I'm going to set up an Intel NUC on my network for Crashplan and Plex, and map my NAS to it.
I have 4.8 running, and it would have updated itself successfully from 4.7 if the right version of CPIO was installed (removed again by updating from 6.5 to 6.5.1) but looks like Netgear may fix this
